Ben & Bo Advocacy

A brand, website, and set of resources that help families of children with autism navigate benefits, education, and support — founded and built from the ground up.

Autism & special-needs advocacy

Good information nobody could use.

Parents of newly diagnosed children face a wall of dense, clinical, intimidating material at the exact moment they have the least bandwidth to absorb it. The information exists — it just isn’t usable.

Ben & Bo Advocacy — named for my two sons — needed a brand that felt like a knowledgeable friend: approachable, hopeful, and clear enough to act on when a family is overwhelmed.

The evolution of a logo

From first sketch, through color exploration, to a warm connected-puzzle wordmark that reads as support, not deficit.

The three concepts, step by step

01
First concept, a BO/EN puzzle-piece monogram for autism awareness
The first ideaA literal puzzle piece with the boys’ initials — honest, but it leaned on a symbol that can read as “missing.”
02
Second concept, a house built from four colored puzzle pieces
Warmer, and about homeFour pieces forming a house — family and belonging. Closer, but busy, and hard to reproduce small.
03
Final Ben & Bo Advocacy wordmark with a connected puzzle icon
The final markOne clean wordmark with a single connected piece — calm, confident, and legible from a business card to a billboard.

One warm, consistent system.

A brand carried across a website, signage, printed guides, and business cards — so every touchpoint feels like the same trusted voice.

Guidelines keep it consistent.

A brand is only as strong as its consistency. I documented Ben & Bo’s logo, colors, and type in a brand guideline so every guide, post, and printed piece looks and feels like the same trusted voice — no matter who’s making it.
